Les Enfants du Paradis

1945

France

3h 10min

PG

Directed by: Marcel Carne

Cast: Arletty, Jean-Louis Barrault, Pierre Brasseur

Marcel Carne's classic tragic tale centres on ill-fated lovers, theatre mimes, attractive actresses and a woman-about-town who calls herself Garance. Great stuff, if a little overpoweringly emotive for a modern audience.
